One of my worst faults is that I'm overly sentimental, can't let go of a thing - bordering on hoarding, actually. I assure myself that saving something that's vintage or an antique is not hoarding nor clutter, it's collecting. Right?

Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day was conceived byGeneral John A. Logan, left, the National Commander of the U.S.Army. The first Memorial Day celebration was observed on May 30,1868, to honor those who had served in the U.S. military.It wasn't until almost 100 years later that Memorial Day was officially recognized by Congress as a National holiday under the National Holiday Act of 1971, to be celebrated on the last Monday of May.

1. decor created through upcycling vintage and antique items found at flea markets, thrift stores, and yard sales; 2. a DIY State of Mind associated with bargain hunting and repurposing everyday items in novel and unique ways; 3. a thrifty attitude of saving.

Rustic eclecticism (I made that up.)
